LC 14

I found the things that they talked about useful, since there’s really no crash course on how to act at a job interview and how to prepare for it.  It was kind of hard to pay attention because of the other people that were talking loudly, and also the fact that I was hungry (I get distracted when I’m hungry).  I feel like I got a lot out of the workshop, and the papers they handed out & the services the STARR center offer are probably going to prove useful sometime in the near future when I’m going to start job hunting.

I didn’t really understand the point of what the people were talking about, but I understood that they were reflecting on the hard times that they’ve been through, and that one’s journey in life is to find out about who they really are.  No one can tell anyone who they’re supposed to be, though society dictates this sometimes and makes those who don’t conform feel alienated, people should be who they want to be, not who society or anyone else wants them to be.

It was also cool that Charles Li took time out of his life to come down to talk to us.  What he has told us in his book was somewhat admirable in a way because it was looked down upon for children to obey the wishes of their fathers, as he had done.  He had also found himself amongst all of the chaos in his life.
